What is the difference between our EPA & DHA products?

Testa Omega-3 sells 2 types of Omega-3 supplements, namely Testa Omega-3 DHA + EPA (box with blisters) and Testa Omega-3 DHA (jar). We would like to explain the difference to you.

Testa Omega-3 DHA + EPA (current selection)

Is a complete Omega-3 product that is suitable for everyone, 1 capsule per day provides the perfect support for heart, brain and eyes. Testa Omega-3 DHA + EPA contains at least 450 mg Omega-3, or which more than 250 mg DHA and more than 125 mg EPA guaranteed per capsule. This product is very suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Testa Omega-3 DHA

Is suitable for people who like to have only DHA Omega-3 fatty acids or people who especially take the Omega-3 for eye and brain health. Testa Omega-3 DHA contains about 250 mg of Omega-3 in the form of DHA. It is an ideal supplement for pregnant women in combination with Testa Omega-3 DHA + EPA, because of the additional benefits that this combination offers for the fetus or infant.

Testa Omega 3 – Algae Oil:

Algae or schizochytrium sp.

Sunflower oil

D-alpha tocopherol (only in DHA + EPA capsules)

Anti-oxidants (tocopherols, ascorbyl palmitate)

Rosemary extract

The vegetarian / vegan softgel capsule is made of:

Glycerol

Corn starch

Carrageenan

Acid regulator (sodium carbonate)

Dosage (children from 2 years old and adults)

To support your health, in combination with healthy foods, we recommend 1 capsule per day. One capsule of omega-3 per day is equal to eating fatty fish twice a week. In some cases, therapists may recommend a larger dosage.

Intake

Taking the supplement with fat-containing meals improves its absorption. If you take the algae oil during a meal, more omega-3 will end up in the body and a higher amount will remain there over time.

However, if you experience acid reflux after taking the algae oil, we recommend taking it before a meal instead. The food will help the capsule find its way to the stomach more easily.

You can also opt to cut open the capsule with scissors or a knife, or to prick it with a needle. The oil can also be mixed with a coconut or almond drink, yogurt (for example, with lemon flavor) or a smoothie with banana and almond milk. The oil mixes well with such substances and will have a neutral flavor.

The shelf life of the Testa Omega-3 capsules is at least 2 years after the production date, if stored at a (dry) room temperature between 15 – 25 ° C, protected from sunlight (like other oils). Other manufacturers usually have a shelf life of 3 years, but Testa Omega-3 applies the strictest safety standards. The expiry date (month + year) is on the blister next to the batch number.

We add up to 4 times as much vitamin E (antioxidant) to Testa Omega-3 DHA + EPA;

Testa makes every effort to protect the product against oxidation as well as possible:

Unlike the bulk of our algae oil competitors:

We produce small batches all year round, so we always have a fresh product at our disposal;

We use an airtight blister package so that each capsule is well protected against external influences.

Can I keep the capsules in the refrigerator?

Rather not. Even if you live in a warm region, we advise you not to store the product in the refrigerator. If you have kept the capsules in the refrigerator, the product may become cloudy because the oil crystallizes.
